Just to be clear- RMT was extremely common and accepted in classic EQ. Heck I remember going on ebay and looking at scores of items, chars, and yes accounts that were for sale for USD back in the day. I always resisted the temptation to cash out on any chars/gear, but it was kinda fun to speculate.
To be clear I'm not an advocate of RMT and am very glad that P99 tries it's best to stop it, but I think we muddy the waters when we state that RMT is not a part of the classic experience, because it most definitely was.
I also tried and couldn't get into Agnarr- partly due to the Chrono/RMT dynamic but also just due to the overall lack of classic feel. When I started P99 I was floored by the nostalgia and general "old school" feel to what I was seeing. When I went to Agnarr though, it just felt like a different game than I remembered.

Boxing was classic but P99 does not endorse. I believe Nilbog went as far to say that boxing is what ruined EQ. Think about it as you, the player, are in a virtual reality world where you need to make allies to succeed and defeat certain content. Big loophole to just have a bunch of computers linked up and take down what you want at your own leisure.
Also, RMT happened on live no doubt, but it was eventually enforced, may have even be written in original EULA that you couldn't profit off the game.
